Mayor Ruthanne Fuller will be delivering her proposed $495 million city budget for fiscal year 2020 to the Newton City Council Tuesday.  Jenna Fisher at Patch has a preview.

The mayor said last year she has 12 priorities and outlined during her speech how funding would be doled out to help those priorities. This year, the priorities remain, but her the new budget comes amid heated negotiations between the educator union and the Newton School Committee as they work on a new contract by the time the bridge contract expires this summer.
